The Gold Coast’s premier home of blues wraps up its 25th annual celebration today, Sunday 17 May 2026. Bringing together an incredible mix of international icons and homegrown talent, the festival transforms the heart of Broadbeach into a vibrant hub of rhythm and blues. If you are heading down for the final day, here is everything you need to know about the schedule.
The Sunday Ticket Experience
While the festival is known for its free programming across multiple stages surrounded by local restaurants, lively bars and cafes, Sunday offers a special addition. Returning after its successful introduction in 2024, the Sunday Ticket is an exclusive, ticketed lineup taking over the Kurrawa Park Stage. It is the “perfect experience for those eager to immerse themselves in even more live music” and features major acts to close out the weekend.
For those without a Sunday Ticket, the festival still offers plenty of free entertainment across the other major outdoor stages.
